  1. Leicester & Dickerson got that badly wrong & must be kicking themselves now. Louis & Hawkins seem to be fantastic judges of not only talent but attitude & personality. No pre Madonna’s just a bunch of talented, hardworking down to earth guys.
  2. It would be interesting to know how much each team costs to run. Take Ipswich &Oxford are we sure there is a massive gap in costs? Ipswich have Emil & Jason at the top end with the other 5 all brits. Ippo only fly Emil in each week the others are uk based & 3 of those with in 2 hours of Ipswich. Oxford on the other hand have to fly in Magic, Tungate & Gusts.
  3. Thursday nights at Foxhall are even attracting some Lynn fans. They certainly appreciate all Ippo are doing.
  4. One built to the limit one built 3 points under it. It’s a management issue.
  5. The two home meetings have both been in front of bumper crowds & the atmosphere particularly tonight has been superb. So yes we are enjoying it & so far seems to be attracting a fair number of non regulars. Tonight’s crowd was up on Belle Vue.
  6. One thing is for certain the turnstiles are clicking, the opening two meetings have been staged in front of very healthy crowds!
  7. We have just used the regulations & yes we have benefited from the Brit reduction, but we have built with 5 Brits. Other had the same rules to work with but chose other routes. Lets be honest whatever the regulations are Lynn historically build teams to challenge for last place 😂
  8. Quite agree. We’re all well aware that things can go wrong after last season. So far this season the current reserves have been a major influence on the results while the top 2 get going.
  9. I feel very lucky to be able to watch Emil & Jason week in week out not to mention 3 of the best young British riders out there. We’re also fortunate to have the most forward thinking & professional owner who gets great backing from local business. The future of the premiership at its current level could be in doubt if the rumours about Birmingham & now Sheffield having their stadium sold are true. Emil might choose not to ride in the uk after this season. I plan on enjoying the ride while these top guys are here. What makes it all the sweeter is knowing that there is one very bitter & jealous Belle Vue fan who can’t handle it!
  10. Ironic as your team is one team who has displayed a ‘win at all costs mentally’ calling in the lawyers!
  11. Doyle is on record saying he doesn’t want to go anywhere else. Emil was a free agent prior to the 2023 season anyone in the uk could have signed him. Louis put in the time & effort to make that happen & by all accounts had to win over Emil’s manager to make that happen. Did any other UK promoter think outside the box to try & sign him? I doubt it but if they did then he chose Ipswich over the others. It now appears that Ipswich is the only UK club he would ride for.
  12. It’s quite clear that Louis won’t pay over the odds as he let Rew go because Brum offered him a better deal. In the time that I’ve been attending Ipswich they have been the opposite to cheque book speedway. One thing Chris has done is turn a well run club in to a highly professional outfit. You only need to look at the way they are all kitted out even down to matching club chairs for the pits. As for Tom I think it was clear he wanted to move to Ipswich & who can blame him wanting to be part of the most professional outfit in British speedway. If only the others & the sport in general could match it.
